Rtapalli Vidyapitha - a free residential Oriya-language high school - was established on 15th August, 1997, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of India's independence. Modeled on India's rich Gurukula tradition, Rtapalli stands on the two pillars of Rta (Truth) and Shraddha (Love).

It aims to create a nucleus of students brought up with academic excellence and strong social commitment. In the ambiance of a Gurukula with modern technology, Rtapalli intends to shape the builders who will shape our nation and the world beyond.

Nature is Our Highest Guru: This is the theme of learning at Rtapalli. Rtashrees are encouraged to be curious about nature and marvel at how it speaks to us through the language of mathematics. Let us enjoy this wonderfully fascinating Nature by Numbers at the Art of Problem Solving site.

Scale of the Universe: Let's wonder at the scale of our exquisite Universe.

Academics: In addition to Orissa BSE curriculum, students (Class VI to Class X) currently learn advanced topics in mathematics, computer programming(C++, Matlab), physics, chemistry and biology. Students practice AMC/AIME problems in classroom.

School curriculum includes Odissi dance and Indian classical music(Vocal, Tabla).

Wonderful Mathematics Site: This site, The Art of Problem Solving, is a veritable goldmine for learning mathematics. Videos are available on Algebra 1 & 2, Introduction to Counting and Probability, MATHCOUNTS, AMC 10, AMC 12 and AIME problem solving.

Photon Energy-Wavelength-Frequency Calculator: Here you can convert between photon energy, wavelength and frequency in different units.

Important Academic Sites This link has several important links to International and USA Mathematics Olympiad, Science on Saturday Lectures (video) for high school students as well as MIT courses from their OpenCourseWare - a magnificent effort to reach out to students and others all over the world. It also has links to Learn English from BBC, The Elements of Style by Strunk and White, Creative writing from Princeton University and Purdue University.
